Project mention: Verifying Cognito access tokens - Comparing three JWT packages for Lambda authorizers | dev.to | 2025-04-03
The Lambda authorizer code decodes and verifies the token, and its business logic determines whether the request should proceed to the backend or be denied. Cognito access tokens are JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), and to simplify our coding, we might opt for an external package to handle token verification.

Project mention: L402: The Missing Piece in the Internet's Payment Infrastructure | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-15
Well, the answer is "I do not know"
Now, if I had to guess, this are "a new kind of cookies" so they just took a name that went with it (like they did with biscuits https://www.biscuitsec.org/)
There are many chances that they got he name wrong and they meant Macaron (with one O instead of two). Those are "layered" cookies, which bring some resemblance on how "caveats" can be understood.
